​True confession: at one point in my adult life I used to joke (accurately) that the only one in our family (two teens, me, a dog and cat) not having therapy was the cat, Maurice. A physically abusive, narcissistic and self-absorbed, yet incredibly handsome 12-year-old feline, with a history of rejection and abandonment in his very early years, he probably needed therapy more than the rest of us, but part of me was relieved not to be paying yet more fees.. So the news that AI is fast becoming the therapist of choice in our overstressed, mentally literate society shouldn’t really come as a surprise. Affordable, accessible 24/7 and judgment-free, could this be the tool we need? Admittedly, and to no little consternation online, research from the Harvard Business Review revealed that therapy and companionship—the latter a nebulous, potentially concerning quagmire in its own right—became the number one use cases for generative AI in 2025. This marks a seismic shift, with more people turning to AI not to write emails or debug code, but to process grief, manage anxiety and find meaning in their lives.. With the patients unable to find a therapist that fits them well and the cost of private therapy upwards of ₹5,000 per session, AI “therapy” offers immediate and democratic access. But it’s also raising urgent questions: is this a helpful stopgap or a dangerous substitution? Are we witnessing a mental health revolution or a crisis in the making?. Dr Tara Porter, a clinical psychologist and bestselling author who works extensively with adolescents and young adults, describes the current movement towards using AI as our therapeutic confidant as “a perfect storm”. One in five people aged eight to 25 now have a probable mental disorder, according to a survey in 2023. “My patients who have tried it tend to use it when they have an anxiety that’s popped into their heads and they’re spiralling.” ChatGPT is often used to help “find purpose” (the third most common AI use case according to the Harvard Business Review), “organise my life” (second) and process everything from relationship breakdowns to existential dread. Unlike googling symptoms—which can convince you that a headache is a brain tumour—AI tends to offer reassurance. As Porter notes, it’s “very good at validating”.. Yet its limitations are worrisome. In the past, Porter tested ChatGPT with real-life examples of what depressed young people actually say. “When I typed in, ‘I can’t be bothered with going to uni. I’m not really that interested,’ it offered validation and psychoeducation, but it didn’t pick up that you might be suffering from a mental health problem,” she says. “In the context of a therapy session, you’d see that perhaps that’s a person with depression,” Porter says. “You’d be curious about that as a therapist, noticing their non-verbal communication, seeing the pattern over time, checking in with them.” Recently, ChatG  

​Cosmic tip: You are simply stuck in a rut. That is it.. Busy as a bee, that is how you like to be, Sagittarius. But while you are at it, and probably even minting some moolah or on your way to set up your printing press, remember to stop and smell the roses. There are lots of things money can buy, roses and experiences being one of them, but you still need your presence to enjoy them to the fullest, and this money cannot buy. You may fear that you might lose it all or lose something if you slow down. So instead of dying in anxiety, set up your rhythm and carve out time to refill and refuel yourself consistently, preferably daily.. Cosmic tip: Get objective about things instead of being overly emotional about them.. Instead of looking at the winner, try figuring out who led the person to victory. Capricorn, often the valiant, reach their victory post because someone in the background held fort for them. The same may be true of your life. Good news is on its way. New projects, ideas, opportunities, etc., are aligned for you. However, you also need to make note of what is working in the background and not just what is being shown on the surface.. Cosmic tip: The pause taught you to evaluate. Now put this learning into action.. Get out of your bubble, Aquarius. It may have been your life, and you may have your treasures hidden in it, but now is the time to take a chance on yourself. Assess information and ideas that may be contradictory to your own and ruminate on them before dismissing them. They might simply show you other ways of functioning, or they might also help you lay solid foundations for a better head start. You may have a game plan, but a little attention to detail and a little patience might just be the dealmaker you need.. Cosmic tip: See things as they are, not as you want them to be.. This is karmic. And no, I don’t mean it in a bad way. This cycle has been repetitive, this frustration has been ongoing, this silent resentment has been shoved under the rug for way too long, and now it has become a tiny hill. Pisces, move on. Let your past go. Release the chains that you are holding onto so tightly because it is only leaving your hands bleeding. Quoting Rumi, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” mariante in this for a bit and then reapproach your relationships, not from scorn but from a neutral space.. Cosmic tip: Open your eyes to the possibilities.

​Release. This is your message, Taurus. Let go, breathe, go within, and let your heart lead. You are trying to be everywhere all at once, and perhaps some of you may find silence very challenging and uncomfortable. Ask yourself why. Add a dash of creativity to your everyday life to sail through more easily. Let go of the unnecessary details that only add stress but serve no real purpose. It may be time to let go of a version of your past that you held so dearly. Everyone matures a little more many times in one lifetime. This is one such point in time for you..

​If you are clinging onto something because you feel you won’t be left with any choice, Aries, you might be holding yourself back. Now, before you jump to conclusions, read this carefully. Take a chance, but with a backup plan. Before you decide to quit your job to start your business, test your ideas out over weekends for a couple of months or longer. Before you decide to divorce, try living separately for a bit or redefining your sense of personal space with your partner. Before you decide to commit, and especially if you are afraid to, then try moving in with each other only over the weekends initially, or figure out other creative ways to overcome your fears. Instead of figuring it all out at once, take one thing at a time and test new waters with patience and vision..
